'Normandy format' representatives to work in Minsk on informal meeting


Berlin dinner of the “Normandy format” is under threat, but Merkel’s offer still stands.

The issue of the German Chancellor meeting in Berlin will be decided today or tomorrow in Minsk: assistants to leaders of the four countries will discuss the possibility of an informal summit.

“The German colleagues offered to host an informal dinner on October 19 with the participation of the “Normandy format” leaders,” Interfax quotes the Russian president’s assistant Yury Ushakov. – This proposal remains on the table, but its implementation will depend on how we manage to agree on concrete progress before a possible summit”.

Ushakov said that “this will be dealt now –today and tomorrow– directly by assistants to leaders of the “four” at a meeting in Minsk”.

“Let’s see what kind of results they will be able to offer to the leaders, and then we’ll decide whether to hold a meeting on October 19 or to postpone it to a later time,” said Ushakov.

He said that “a lot will depend on what the presidential aides will decide in Minsk”.
